Mike Mayock sends the Jags Hayden Hurst in annual mock

Draft day is upon us and that means it won’t be long before the Jacksonville Jaguars are on the clock for the No. 29 overall pick. To get everyone pumped about the upcoming festivities, NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock released his annual mock last night which had the Jags taking Jacksonville native Hayden Hurst.

29.) Jacksonville Jaguars

TE – Hayden Hurst, South Carolina

The reason why I like this guy is not only can you split him wide and let him catch the football, but he actually commits in the run game. That’s rare.

Last week, Tom Coughlin told the media that the Jags were looking for a tight end who excelled in blocking and that’s something Hurst does well enough. He also has a ton of upside as a receiver despite finishing 2017 with just a pair of touchdowns.
